"Right, I almost forgot about the system's exclusive skill book.
Chen Shu suddenly remembered and took out the skill book from his backpack.
With a gentle pat, a golden light emanated from the golden slime's body, and it learned a new skill.
Invincible Squish: Passive skill. Creatures pinned by the slime cannot use active skills. Note: Ineffective against contracted spirits one major realm higher.
Chen Shu's expression brightened. As expected of an exclusive skill, it was extremely compatible with the golden slime.
Although the slime's weight was terrifying, making it almost impossible for contracted spirits to break free when pinned, that was without the use of skills.
Even with a simple charge skill, the slime might not have been able to pin them.
Based on Chen Shu's knowledge, skills and talents provided immense advantages, directly determining the combat power of contracted spirits.
Three days passed in a flash.
"Mom, Dad, I've decided to go on a trip to relax!"
Early in the morning, Chen Shu, carrying a large backpack, left home.
Chen Shu's parents didn't pay much attention, thinking their son was just going on a trip. If they knew he was going to another dimension, they would have grounded him for the entire summer.
A Level 5 Beastmaster daring to venture into another dimension? Wasn't that foolishness?
At the entrance of the 666 Pharmaceutical Company, two black SUVs were parked nearby.
A group of people waited at the entrance for something.
"I say, brother, aren't you adding a burden to the team by suddenly bringing in this extra person?"
A fierce-looking middle-aged man spoke discontentedly to Zhou Cheng.
He was Zhou Cheng's younger brother, Zhou Shi, and the leader of the Beast Taming Team, a powerful Black Iron level Beastmaster.
Zhou Cheng replied, "It's just an ordinary level dimension. I believe with your strength, you can protect the team. Moreover, that kid can protect himself."
"I hope so," Zhou Shi shook his head.
Just then, a person wearing sunglasses on a shared bicycle came speeding towards them.
"Chen Shu!" Xu Xiaoyu waved, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Chen Shu's last-minute addition gave Xu Xiaoyu a companion.
"Is that the kid?"
Zhou Shi's mouth twitched. Why did he always feel a bit unreliable?
Chen Shu dismounted gracefully, preparing to park his bicycle, but quickly got back on and shouted loudly.
"This isn't a parking spot! Wait for me!"
Everyone:
Zhou Shi forced a stiff smile and said, "Brother, are you sure he can protect himself?"
Chen Shu's actions made even Zhou Cheng doubt himself. He hesitated and said, "Uh, probably, maybe, perhaps."
A moment later, Chen Shu came running back with his backpack.
"Since Xiao Chen is here, let's get ready to depart," Zhou Cheng said. "This is the leader of the Beast Taming Team, Zhou Shi, also my younger brother."
Chen Shu heard this, looked at Zhou Shi, and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhou! My name is Chen Shu!"
Zhou Shi shook his head and said, "Since you're here, let's depart."
The group boarded the two SUVs parked nearby.
Inside the car, Chen Shu was extremely excited, constantly looking around.
"It's much more comfortable than riding a bicycle," he leaned back against the seat, feeling incredibly at ease.
Xu Xiaoyu smiled and said, also somewhat excited, "Are you planning to buy a car?"
With Chen Shu's salary, buying a car for commuting was easy.
As long as it didn't involve Beastmasters, other things weren't too expensive.
Chen Shu replied, "I'm a bit conflicted, haven't decided yet."
"You don't know which car to buy?" Xu Xiaoyu asked, confused.
Chen Shu shook his head and said with a serious expression, "I recently won a five-yuan discount coupon for a Rolls-Royce, which is tempting. But on the other hand, the monthly pass discount for shared bicycles also makes it hard for me to let go."
*Screech!*
The SUV suddenly braked hard.
The Beastmaster driving had a constipated expression. "So you're just conflicted about this?"
"Uncle Wang, Chen Shu is joking, he's not abnormal... probably not," Xu Xiaoyu explained with extreme uncertainty.
"I hope it's not too outrageous," Wang Yi shook his head, silently praying.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, do you want some cookies?"
Chen Shu suddenly took out a bag of cookies from his backpack.
Xu Xiaoyu waved her hand, "No, thank you. I'm not hungry right now."
"Chocolate?"
"No."
"Chips?"
"No."
"Instant noodles?"
Watching Chen Shu pull out various foods from his backpack, the other three in the car were completely stunned.
"Are you really going on an adventure in another dimension?"
"How about we play a game of Dou Dizhu to relax?"
Chen Shu, completely oblivious, took out a deck of cards from his backpack.
"Ahem, Xiao Chen, let me interrupt," the other Beastmaster in the passenger seat said, "Didn't you bring anything important?"
"Of course, I brought a pair of slippers specifically."
"Old Deng, my head hurts!" Wang Yi, who was driving, took one hand off the steering wheel to rub his temples.
Old Deng in the passenger seat gave him a resentful look, "Do you think my head doesn't hurt?"
Chen Shu shook his head, feeling that his carefully packed items were being looked down upon.
He gazed at the scenery outside the window, eating various snacks.
He didn't look like a Beastmaster preparing for an adventure in another dimension at all.
The SUVs drove out of the city. The closest dimensional space to Nanjiang City was called the Azure Origin Forest, an ordinary-level dimensional space.
Based on the strength of the ferocious beasts within the dimensional space, the country classified them as Ordinary, Dangerous, Nightmare, Destruction, and the highest level, Catastrophe.
The Azure Origin Forest was located between Nanjiang City and Daxing City, and Beast Taming Teams from nearby cities would enter it for hunting.
Five hours later,
Chen Shu and his group had left Nanjiang City and arrived in a small town.
This place was called Azure Origin Town and had been established for nearly fifty years, built specifically for the Azure Origin Forest.
Every appearance of a dimensional space presented both crisis and opportunity.
Countless merchants, powerful Beastmasters, large corporations, and Beast Taming families would come, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
"Halt!"
At the entrance of the town, several burly soldiers in uniform immediately stopped the SUVs.
"Identity!"
Zhou Shi took out his ID and handed it to the soldier.
The soldier took the ID, scanned it with the device beside him, and then returned it to Zhou Cheng.
The others were not exempted either, and even Chen Shu's ID was scanned.
Finally, the group was allowed to enter Azure Origin Town.
At the same time, both SUVs were parked outside the town; they were not allowed to enter the town itself.
Chen Shu whispered, "Xiao Yu, the security here is so tight. It's making me a bit nervous."
Xu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. "You get nervous?""
